BIOGRAPHY: John Schumacher has practiced yoga for over five decades. In 1979, he founded Unity Woods Yoga Center, the Washington areas first fulltime yoga studio. For 33 years, he studied in India regularly with B.K.S. Iyengar, who personally certified him as an Advanced Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher (CIYT). Johns clear, precise style and his engaging sense of humor have made him one of Americas leading yoga teachers. In 2015, Yoga Journal awarded him its prestigious “Good Karma” Award for “spending 40-plus years sharing [his] practice to help authenticate yoga in America today”. In 2007, he was a keynote speaker at the first NIH conference on alternative health. He currently writes the “On Pranayama” column in The Light, the digital magazine of the Iyengar Yoga National Association of the US (IYNAUS).
